[comp.sys.amiga] Demos and piracy

wdao@castor.usc.edu (Walter Dao) (07/11/90)

ok some of these demos come on disks with pirated programs. 
And it is often the case that the Demos is much better than the program it 
tries to present. 
I have seen many people copy a cracked game just for the boot intro or the 
demo. (and there are MANY crapy programs for the amiga ....)

1) I downloaded the cryptoburner II megademo, booted it up, got the cute music,
   pressed the button, got another screen with a list of demos on the disk.
   But how do I make the selection ? I tried everything .... there is not
   even a raster line choice selector nothing ...
   does it need a pal machine ? 
   I am stuck listening to the music and reading the tiny scrolltext.

2) somebody said that most of the europeans get their cracked games from the 
   US. I beg to differ.
   ALL the cracker groups are europeans . I dont know or have never heard of
   a single {good} cracker group on the amiga from here.  
   Yes most of them have what they call US divisions. But the only thing they 
   do is to import the stuff to the state. Or sometime  write a little 
   demo.

they used to be a c64 until they went amiga
